THIS IS MY STRONG HOLD. THIS IS WHERE I DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND. IT IS HERE AND NOW THAT I MAKE MY STAND.

With the way things have been going latley in the world, I catch myself often singing this song.

By the great

Charlie Daniels Band

I ain't nothin' but a simple manThey call me a redneck I reckon that I amBut there's things going on That make me mad down to the core.

I have to work like a dog to make ends meetThere's crooked politicians and crime in the streetAnd I'm madder'n hell and I ain't gonna take it no more.

We tell our kids to just say noThen some panty waist judge lets a drug dealer goSlaps him on the wrist and then he turns him back out on the town.

Now if I had my way with people sellin' dopeI'd take a big tall tree and a short piece of ropeI'd hang 'em up high and let 'em swing 'til the sun goes down

Well, you know what's wrong with the world todayPeople done gone and put their Bible's away They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the landThe good book says it so I know it's the truth An eye for and eye and a tooth for a toothYou better watch where you go and remember where you beenThat's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man.

Now I'm the kinda man that'd not harm a mouseBut if I catch somebody breakin in my houseI've got twelve guage shotgun waiting on the other sideSo don't go pushing me against my will I don't want to have to fight you but I dern sure willSo if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by

As far as I'm concerned there ain't no excuseFor the raping and the killing and the child abuseAnd I've got a way to put an end to all that messJust take them rascals out in the swampPut 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stumpLet the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest

You know what's wrong with the world todayPeople done gone and put their Bible's away They're living by the law of the jungle not the law of the landThe Good Book says it so I know it's the truth An eye for and eye and a tooth for a toothYou better watch where you go and remember where you beenThat's the way I see it I'm a Simple Man

I had to go to youtube to listen to this one--I don't think I'd heard it before. I like the stuff I've heard by Charlie Daniels, so now I'll probably go look at youtube again... :) I really hope that it doesn't turn out to be "law of the jungle" everywhere, and that our leaders will always support the law of the land, especially the Constitution...
